And with a little boost from you we can make it all happen even easier. We raising money to help offset the costs and share this science shenanigan-filled trip with the world. R&D with R&D is the seed of a dream where Ray & Danielle bring nerdy, diverse, authentic science engagement from our curly hair perspective to the world. We’d love your support!

Fundraising target $500 -$1000

If we raise $300 we’ll record a quick video of us jumping up & down in our hotel bed because that will be us jumping for glee because that will cover our lodging for week.

Each $25 raised after that, will subsidize our meals for a day, up to $200

Everything raised over $500 will help offset our air fare and we’ll split this evenly.
